A 1966 Chevelle Still Makes For A Swell Touring Car: Video

Just because a 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle is a big, heavy car doesn’t mean that it can’t be the shell for a great overall performance touring car. In the world of hot-rodding, (like any other car subculture), there are many different schools of thought as to how a car should be built. Some prefer straight line monsters with fat tires, while others like lowriders on airbags.

If you’re like us, and Enzo Morales, the owner of this 1966 Chevelle, you also appreciate decent braking and handling characteristics. Touring cars are supposed to be well rounded, on top of being “sinister,” as host Mike Musto describes the car in the video below. Not for the weak and timid, this mean machine.

In reality there is little difference in the curb weight of a stock ’66 Chevelle and todays ’13 Malibu sedan. Both are in the 3500-3600 lb. range. Even an SS396 with heavy iron big block was no more than about 3700 with all fluids on board. As for size a ’66 Chevelle is 197″ long and 75″ wide, today’s Malibu 191.5 and about 73″ wide.
